Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, toss the 1 lb shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Mash the 2 avocados with the juice of half the lime and a pinch of salt until chunky. Dice the 1 tomato and 0.5 onion and mix into the guacamole.

  4. Step 4

    Warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, until soft and pliable.

  5. Step 5

    Fill each tortilla with shrimp, top with guacamole, and serve with the remaining lime cut into wedges.
